2.4.32: unresolved symbol unregister_qdisc

2.4.32: unresolved symbol unregister_qdisc

[George P Nychis]

Hey,

I have a kernel module that uses unregister_qdisc and register_qdisc, whenever i try to insert the module I get:
/lib/modules/2.4.32/kernel/net/sched/sch_xcp.o: /lib/modules/2.4.32/kernel/net/sched/sch_xcp.o: unresolved symbol unregister_qdisc
/lib/modules/2.4.32/kernel/net/sched/sch_xcp.o: /lib/modules/2.4.32/kernel/net/sched/sch_xcp.o: unresolved symbol register_qdisc

Am i missing some sort of support in the kernel?

Please CC all responses directly to me :)

Thanks!
George

Make sure CONFIG_NET_SCHED is enabled and that you compiled your module against
that kernel.

Where does this sch_xcp come from?  It's not in the vanilla sources.

Also, please direct networking questions to the netdev@vger.kernel.org
mailing list which I have added to the CC:.

Yeah, this module is unfortunately not under the GPL, it was made for research and i am not the author, I was only given the code for my own research.

I enabled that support in the kernel, and then tried to recompile and get tons of errors/warnings... so maybe I am missing something else to be enabled in the kernel... here are a few examples of errors:
/usr/include/linux/skbuff.h:30:26: net/checksum.h: No such file or directory
/usr/include/asm/irq.h:16:25: irq_vectors.h: No such file or directory
/usr/include/linux/irq.h:72: error: `NR_IRQS' undeclared here (not in a function)
/usr/include/asm/hw_irq.h:28: error: `NR_IRQ_VECTORS' undeclared here (not in a function)

I think those are the top most errors, so if i can fix those hopefully the rest shall vanish!

Looks like a Makefile problem then.  Can you post the Makefile?
Hopefully it is using a Makefile and not just an elaborate gcc command line.

Thanks for the help.

Here is the makefile:

And here is the full errors I receive:

Greatly appreciate it

I don't know how much I can help you.  It's been a long time since
I've built external modules on 2.4.x.

Problems that I see:
- the Makefile does not use the expected 2.4 kernel build infrastructure;
- kernel Makefile uses -nostdinc to prevent use of userspace headers;
- Makefile is trying to include userspace headers instead of kernel headers, e.g.:
  In file included from /usr/include/linux/if_ether.h:107,
                 from /usr/include/linux/netdevice.h:29,
                 from sch_xcp.c:8:
- this specified include directory is only in 2.6.x, not 2.4.x:
  -I/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/asm/mach-default

It's not clear to me how this makefile could work with 2.4.x at all.
Is it supposed to, or that's just what you want to see it do?

You could try to fix the Makefile based on makefile-changes articles at lwn.net.
E.g.:
http://lwn.net/Articles/151784/
http://lwn.net/Articles/79984/
http://lwn.net/Articles/74767/
http://lwn.net/Articles/69148/
http://lwn.net/Articles/21823/

Sorry, I thought when you said top-post, I thought you were telling me about only posting the "top" most errors in my original e-mail, thats why i pasted full error output.


The thing is, it compiles successfully when CONFIG_NET_SCHED is not enabled in the kernel.  But when its not enabled, i get the external symbol errors.

As soon as I enable CONFIG_NET_SCHED ... it no longer compiles.

I will look into this, it is supposed to work... the code has been used by others before.

If you or anyone else come up with anything, please let me know

Thanks!
George

By the way, if I add -I/usr/src/linux/include to the compile line, it successfully compiles, however, i am back to the start:
lanthanum-ini src-1.0.1 # insmod sch_xcp
Using /lib/modules/2.4.32/kernel/net/sched/sch_xcp.o
/lib/modules/2.4.32/kernel/net/sched/sch_xcp.o: /lib/modules/2.4.32/kernel/net/sched/sch_xcp.o: unresolved symbol unregister_qdisc

Yet your 2.4.32 kernel image file does have those symbols in it?
Can you verify that by using 'nm' on the kernel image file?

If so, then I suppose that you'll need to make a small module test case
that exhibits this behavior, or just tell us where to get the sch_xcp files...

By kernel image, do you mean /usr/src/linux/vmlinux ?
if so,
lanthanum-ini linux # nm vmlinux | grep register_qdisc
c0399200 R __kstrtab_register_qdisc
c0399240 R __kstrtab_unregister_qdisc
c039ebc8 R __ksymtab_register_qdisc
c039ebd0 R __ksymtab_unregister_qdisc

*sigh* ... still getting the unresolved symbols, i totally don't get it, my /usr/src/linux/vmlinux says that the symbols exist, i install the kernel, reboot, and still get the same errors

Any other way of doing this or reason i can find out whats causing this?

thanks for your help

Yes, I understood that.

Well, one of the makefile gods can step in and spot the problem, or you can
create a test case so that others can try to help out with it.  Or tell us
where to get the code that you are using.

There is also the possibility that you're running another kernel. Please
check /proc/ksyms to be sure that register_qdisc is there.

That would clearly help. If you cannot post the whole driver, please at
least post the source without any function except init_module(). Check
net/sched/sch_ingress.c for very minimal code.

Got it working!

Ian's suggestion worked.... i had to make clean, make mrproper, and completely build from scratch

Bahhh 2.4

Thanks for your help Randy also, and all others who responded
